4. When working with the air compressor outdoors, use an
extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is
indicated by the letters “W-A” on the cord’s jacket.
5. Before using an extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
NOTE: Use longer air hoses instead of long extension
cords. Your air compressor will run better and last
longer.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION)
1. This air compressor is powered by a precision built
electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply
that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household
current).
2. Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A
substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and
the motor will overheat. If the air compressor does not
operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the
power supply.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY (SPEED AND WIRING)
1. The no-load speed of the electric motor varies by model
and specification. The motor speed is not constant and
decreases under a load or with lower voltage. For voltage,
the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor’s
horsepower rating.
2. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a
power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short
distance will be too light for a greater distance. A line that
can support one power tool may not be able to support
two or three tools.

weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious
personal injury. Electric tools used on fiberglass
material, wall-board, spackling compounds, or plaster
are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature
failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are
highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc.
Consequently, we do not recommend using this tool for
extended work on these type of materials. However, if
you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely
important to clean the tool using compressed air.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The compressor does not run. The tank has sufficient pressure. The compressor will turn on when the tank
pressure drops to cut-in pressure.
There is no electrical power being
supplied to compressor or, the
power switch is in the OFF
position.
Check to be sure the compressor is plugged in
and the power switch is in the ON position.
A fuse has blown at the power
supply.
Replace the fuse at the power supply.
A breaker has tripped at the
power supply.
Reset the breaker at the power supply and
determine why the problem happened.
The motor is too hot and the
thermal overload is open.
Disconnect the compressor from the power
supply and allow the motor to cool for several
minutes. The thermal overload will automatically
reset after the compressor has cooled.
Loss of power or overheating. Check the power supply and any extension cord
meet the gauge and length requirements of this
compressor.
The pressure switch is bad. Replace the pressure switch.
The motor hums, but does not
run or runs slowly.
The voltage from the power
supply is low.
Check the voltage from the power supply with a
voltmeter.
The gauge wire or the length of
extension cord is wrong.
Use the correct wire gauge and length extension
cord.
The motor winding is shorted or
broken.
Take the compressor to an authorized service
center.
The unloader or check valve is
defective.
Take the compressor to an authorized service
center.
The fuses blow or the circuit
breaker trips repeatedly.
The fuse size is incorrect or the
circuit is overloaded.
Check the fuse or breaker at the power supply is
the correct size and type. Be sure to use only
time-delay fuses. To avoid overloading a circuit,
disconnect other electrical appliances from circuit
or operate compressor on its own branch circuit.
The gauge wire or the length of
extension cord is wrong.
Use the correct wire gauge and length extension
cord.
The check valve or the unloader is
defective.
Take the compressor to an authorized service
center.
The thermal overload protector
cuts out repeatedly.
The voltage is low. Check for proper voltage using a voltmeter.
A poorly ventilated room is
causing the motor to overheat.
Move the compressor to a well-ventilated area.
The gauge wire or the length of
extension cord is wrong.
Check for proper gauge wire and cord length.

Troubleshooting (continued)
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The air receiver pressure
drops when the compressor
shuts off.
The connections are loose or
leaking (fittings, tubing, etc.).
Check all the connections with soapy water and
look for bubbles. Thread sealing tape should be
used on all threaded connections. Tighten any
loose connections until the leak stops.
The drain valve is loose. Tighten the drain valve.
The check valve is leaking. Take the compressor to a authorized service
center.
DANGER: Do not disassemble the check
valve while air is in tank - empty the all
the air out of the tank before disassembly.
There is excessive moisture in
the air discharge.
There is excessive water in the air
tank.
Drain the tank to remove water.
The humidity is high. Move the compressor to an area of less humidity
or use an air line filter to reduce moisture
discharge in the tank.
Air is leaking from the
compressor.
The hose connection is loose or
improperly sealed.
Ensure connections are sealed with thread
sealing tape and tightened.
The air hose is broken or
damaged.
Replace the air hose.
The compressor runs
continuously.
The tank drain valve is open. Ensure the tank drain valve is closed.
The pressure switch is defective. Take the compressor to an authorized service
center.
The usage is excessive. Decrease the amount of tool run-time; the
compressor is not large enough to supply the air
requirement of the tool.
The compressor vibrates. The compressor mounting bolts
are loose.
Tighten any loose bolts on the compressor mount.
The air output is lower than
normal.
The inlet valves are broken. Take the compressor to an authorized service
center.
The connections are leaking. Apply thread sealing tape to threaded connections
and tighten.
